Givenchy is celebrating the couture heritage of founder Hubert de Givenchy this fall with “Givenchy Atelier”, a limited-edition essentials collection. Artistic Director Clare Waight Keller builds on the volume of Givenchy couture looks and revisits the atelier’s original codes. There are sophisticated double-breasted jackets, midi and one-shoulder dresses and diaphanous lace blouses. Keller also introduces new elements like chic t-shirts and embroidered hoodies. Timelessness is the common thread in the black and white collection.

The discreet wardrobe also includes a surprising accessory, a ‘winged bow’ backpack in textured nylon. Each piece includes the hand-signed Givenchy label underscored in red in homage to the way the couturier, Hubert de Givenchy, signed his fashion sketches.
